Roman Stupka

Throughout his life, Roman has felt the need to influence the world around him. Whether as the leader of a group of friends, captain of a football team, or CEO. Roman’s experience as a top manager and crisis manager has helped him understand the role of a leader in business and life. He sees it as giving people a shared vision and helping them find their own vision that connects to the shared one. He also believes leaders must help people accept personal responsibility for designing the system and team responsibility for its functionality.

According to Roman, “removing demotivation is more important than seeking motivation, and listening is more important than speaking. That’s why now, instead of running systems, I help good companies become even better.” Roman most often uses the Rockefeller Habits method in his work.
